A very easy and quick to make-ahead dessert. Just throw in the ingredients together and chill. Serve.

Ingredients

300g of canned pineapple, drained & grated

200g of bottle gourd, grated & boiled

300g of heavy cream

200g of castor sugar, adjust according to taste

1/2 cup almonds, sliced or silvered + 1 tablespoon for garnishing

Instructions

Squeeze out excess water from bottle gourd. Reserve the juice and use it to knead dough or add to soup. I hate wasting food, so I would use it.

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients well. Reserve 1 Tbsp almonds for garnishing. Taste and adjust sweetness if required. Since the pineapple is sweetened, I have kept low sugar. If you need more, it is quite to easy to add more.

Transfer to individual cups/ glasses or in the same dish only. Cover each glass with plastic wrap and chill.

Before serving garnish with some more almonds sliver, mint leaves, mango or any other fruit of the season. Serve cold.

Notes:

Taste of pineapple should be more than that of bottle gourd. If you think bottle gourd is stronger tasting, then add more pineapple or reduce bottle gourd.
